other adhesive substande for the labels hereinafter described.

Inside the standard the shaft 3S carries a cam 47 into the path of which extends an anti-friction roller 48 projecting from a vertical rod 49 having its lower end bifurcated to Vstraddle a collar on the shaft 38. This rod is confined to reciprocate longitudinally .upper end of the rod it carries, in the standard, a sleeve 54 against the lower end of which is confined, by nuts 55 on the rod, a spiral spring 56 surrounding the latter, the s eeve terminating at .its upper end in a pair .of circumferential collars forming a recess 57,

and being confined by a collar 58 pinned to the rod. A bell-crank 59, fulcrumed at 60, has one arm engaging with'the recess 57 and its other `arm connected by a lnlr 61 with a horizontally reciprocable plunger-rod 62 for working the dating-device and the rear labelclamp as hereinafter described. yThe purpose of providing the spring-pressed sleeve 54 is to render the action of the rod on the bel-crank yielding, so that if any obstruction occurs 4in the workin of the aforesaid 'i dater and clamp there will e sufficient, yield,

notwithstanding the rigidity of the rod, to avoid injury to the mechanism. For a similar purpose a spiral spring 63 is confined about the upper projecting end lofthe rod against a circumferentially recessed head 64 the dash-pot servin engaged byI one end of a lever65 fulcrumed between its ends to a support 66 and provided in its' opposite end with an elongated slot 67 at which is pivotally connected with it the lunger Irod of the forward labelclamp, ereinafter described.

it On the forward end of the shaft 38 is seimred a crank-disk 68, behind which the up- .der part of the bearing 35 is extended as lao' -like casting 69 terminating at its upper eil "in a head,70 atwhich it isbolted to the face of the standard 33 and this casting car ries the parallelver'al guides 71, 7.1 for a.

as a check to the downthe crosshead against ward movement o tlie tendency ot ythe weight of the mechanism l'carried by it to unduly accelerate such .movement.

- J"()n the 'forward en d of the top of the head 7G are provided parallelfhorizontal guides 78 it, and the like, and

(Fig. 1), for receiving the ieet which project outwardly from legs 79 depending from the base oi a paste or glue-font 8G, of the preferred general sha e illustrated. Centrally in the ends of this ont is journaled a pasteworking roller 8l having its rear iournal eX- tended to carry a sleeve 82, pinned toit, and formed with an angular socketto receive the s uared forward end of the shaft 46 (Fig. 7). T us, as will be seen, rotation of the driveshaft, through its s rocket and chain-connection with the sha t 46, constantly rotates the roller 81 in the font, in. which a scraper 83 is shown in Fi 8 to bear against the roller. The ends o the font are shown to be -extended upwardly (Figs. 8, 9), to afford seats for the ends of a cove'r 84, which is removably fastened in place and affords a shield; and the top of the font is open except for this sheet-metal shield'. Ears 85 extend from the font ,ends at their 0 posite sides, the pairs of ears on each'side a Ording bearings 'for rollers 86 carrying crank-arms 87 connected by springs 88 with the fontends and afiordin at their free ends bearin for rollers 89. The' springs tend to hold t e rollers 89 in contact with the surface of the roller 81 and are spaced. from the .rollers 86 for the purpose hereinafter explained. Each roller 86 and 89 may consist of a continuous rod carrying rotatably u on it a rubber roller which is preferably divi ed between its ends, as indicated at 90 inFig. 7 to form it in two inde endent sections. As will be observed, the ont may be readily removedat the forward end of the machine by withdrawing it lengthwise, as for cleaning and replenishmg placed.

A shelf 91 extends from the face of the standard lengthwise and centrally-over the.

font. It comprises a head 92 containing vertical slots 93, near its edges, through which it is bolted to the standard in a manner to render it vertically adjustable to adapt the machine for labeling bottles of varying diameters and shapes; from the face of the head extend parallel ears 94 between which is adjustably stencil the shelf-proper having a concaye upper surface to adapt it Ito aord a bed for a bottle while being labeled, the forward end of the shelf being curved downwardly to afford it may be as readily rea lip 95 serving to guide the bottle in lacing it in position to be labeled; and at t e rear end of the shelf rises a bearing 96 for a set screw 97 carrying a disk 98 affording an abutment for the bottom of the bottle, this abutment being thusV adjustable to adapt the shelf to bottles of different lengths.

A neck 99 extends forwardly and upwardly ulcrumed u on it the lever 65 (F This neck is ormed on a rectangular from the to of the standard, 33and is the art from w ch rises the support 66 having g. 3). rame` soeces chine-frame and has longitudinal lledges 101 -on its opposite inner sides for adiustably seatin upon them a rear rectangular supplemental frame 102, open at its iorwardend,

and -a forward smaller frame 103, of general rectangular shape (Fig. Between the sides ot the frame 103, near its' forward end, extends a rod. 10s, and depending from the sides ci' tliisiraine areears 105 forming bearings for the ends of a rotary .shaft 106 providedat Opposite sides' of its transverse center with right and lett screwthreads (Fig. 1) and on one end of this shaft is provided a knurled collar 107 for turning it.

Hung on the rod 104, at suitable distances apart, are similarlba'rs 103, 10:3, each having an upper section 1081 extendingat a rightangle trom-it at which it is hung on the rod, and a-lower section 10S2 extending parallel with said upper section and terminating ina nut 109 at which it surrounds a threaded part of the shaft 105, whereby turning the latter at the collar 107 will bring the bars 103 closer together or spread them further apart,

depending on the direction of turning. Each of these bars has a downward extension 110 .'terminatin at its lower end in an inwardly projecting 'nger- 1.11.`

Rigidly lepending,jii;orn the center of the back of the frame 103 is anarni 112 (Fig. 3),

terminating at its lower end -in a forwardly projecting linger 113 in the plane of the fingers 111, and a similar arm '114 faces the arm 1.12 and terminates at its lower end in a back vwardly projecting Vfinger 115 in thev plane ol the linger 113'. rifhis last-named arm issu orted on a stud 116 extending backwardlT rom and. reciprocably movable in the forward. side of the supplemental frame 103,

Moreover, the supplemental frame 103 is adjustable lengthwiseof the frame 100 for placing the said magazine relative to dierent lengths of bottlenecks, this adiustment being edected throu fh movement ot the sup leinental frame hy hand on loosening thuni -screws 121 working against its sides through the sides of the frame 100.

4- A follower-plate 122 rests on thev to oi' the label pile120 and bearing upon-then ate is a yoke 123 pivotally supported onone end ot a lever 124 having, itsende tent at right.

i ported similar' depending liars the latter may be moved backangles to the bodgv of the lever in opposite directions, the 'other ond being pivotally suported in the slot of a bracket 125 tcrininat-vingin a head 126 containing` a vertical opening to fit slidingly on a vertical post 127 of T-shape in cross-section secured to the back of'l the supplenieijfel traine 1.03 at a recess therein. The sliding movement of the head 126 on its vertical O'iii. le-pi;st enables it to follow the diminishing` pile 120 as labels are picked from its bottoni, as hereinafter descrihed, and any tendency of the pickers to lift the pile in operating against. its under side, and thereby disorganizo it, is resisted by the consequent turning of the lever 124 and binding or clutching its upper bent end frictionally against the .tace of the post 127.-

.The vrear supplemental traine 102 is likewise adustable upon its seat on the ledoes 101 of the trarne 100, upon loosening thumb-screws 128 workin a ainst its sides throuwli the sides ci' the main traine and turning similar screvs 120 which work against the rear end ot' the frame 102 through the corresponding end of :the traine 1.00. These last-named screws serve, by turning them in one direction," to nieve the rear supplemental traine forward, and it may be moved. backward by hand, this adjustment being provided to po` sition the magasine, hereinafter described, holding the pile oi labels for the bodies oi bottles, relative to the latter. This lastnained magazine is similar to that for the neck-labels 120 and involves the followingdescribed. construction: 1 n

Extending between the sides of the frame 102, near its rear end, is a rod 130, and below the latter is a shaft 131 provided with right and left threads, inail respects like the shaft 106, and idurnaled in depending cars 132; 105 and on this rod and shaft are adustahly sup- 133 in all respects like, or substantially like, the hars 108,

and like the latter terminating in inwardlv projecting iingers.

Adjacent to side ol the frame 102 there extends, between its rear and forward rails, a

rigid rod 134; (Fig. 35), like the rod 131, and

directlyabove the latter extends the shaft 135 journaled in ears 136 on the traine 102, 115

this shaft having right and lett screw-threads to work in nuts 137 on the ends of similar bars 133 terminating at their lower ends in fingers, these hars being suspended' on thel 4rod. 134 and shaft 135 in all respects the saine? 120 as the bars 108 on their su porting rod and threaded shaft, and being line the latter, terininating in'inwardly projecting lingers which cooperate with those on the hars 133 to form a seat for a pile oi' labels 139 (Fig. 51, con- 125 fined in the magazine termed by the arms.` A follower-plate 140 r is on the pile 139-, and upwarddisn eine t oi this, piie, as and for the purpose eosenhed'in connection with `the pile 120, is resisted bv the lever-device 13o,

represented at 141,'like and operating like that described in' connection with the pile 12,0 and being movably supported at its head on a post 142 rising from a corner of the 5 frame 102.

. Near the junction with the standard 33 of the head 70 there arise from opposite sides of the latter, two similar bent bars 143, 143, coinciding with each other and rigidly fastened at their upper ends to opposite sides of the frame 100 near its rear end. These bars form the frame serving to actuate the label picker and wi er mechanisms, as hereinafter described. T 1e cross-sectional shape of each of these bars is best shown in Fig, 6 to involve, between its upper and lower bent ends, a fiat inner bearing-face 144 with a slightly offset face 145 terminating at its lower end, just below the transverse center of the straight section of the bar, in an outwardly deflected end 148 (Figs. 26 and 27). These bars contain in the inner faces of their sections 144 corresponding and coinciding recesses 146, and4 below the latter similar recesses 147.. Coi'ncidentally lwith the center of each recess 146 a trip-stud 149 projects horizontally from the rear side of the respec- `tive bar 143; and a spring-linger 150 is fastened to the inner face of the lower bent section of .each bar 143 tolextend at its free end into a guide-groove 151 (Fig. 26), provided inthe face 144 of said bar just below the recess 147 therein, this spring performing a block-tripping function hereinafter described. l

On 'opposite sides of the cross-head 72 are fastened similar arms 152 extending vertically and terminating in yokes 153 forming bearing-heads for the mechanisms which c ooperate with the recessed bars 143 for picking the labels from the .bottoms of the magazines and wiping them about the body-portions and necks of bottles 154 successively 1mposed upon the shelf A91. These mechanisms are duplicates of each other, so that description thereof on one side of the bottle-support will suflice for both, with like reference-characte`rs 'applied to corresponding parts in the two sets of mechanisms: A rock-shaft 155 is the opposite arms of the yoke, this shaft be- I ling -flattened longitudinally on its normally upper side'betwecn the bearings, adjacent, to one of which/it carries air adjustable lstop 156 j to engage with a studv 157 projectin -into its path from a yoke-arm for limiting t e throw of the shaft. Fixed upon the shaft in a collar 1,58 thereon, near the stop 156, and adjustably confined in the collar (Figs, 10 and 11) 'is a icker-in er 159-for the labels 139; and s'zni arly fixe on the same shaft, near its opposite end, is a picker-finger 160 for the labe s 120 (Fig. 3). The shaft 155 projects at itsrear end beyond its bearing and therei) 55; 'ha crank-arm il` pinned to the shaft,"

of the wall of its socket-portioii a slot 168 tol journaled at its ends in bearings provided on with' a spring i162 (Fig. 6) about the shaft connecting the crank-arm with the adjacent bearin to tend to return the crank-arm to normal position; 'and the free end of the crank-arm carries an anti-friction roller 163 to travel against the frame-bar surface 145.

' Directly above the shaft 155 is journaled in bearings in the upper ends of the yoke-arms a cylindrical shaft 164 carrying on its rear Y projecting enda bl'ock 165 to travel against 75 the bar-surface 144'. Beyond the block the shaft is provided with a circumferential groove 166'J (Figs. 36-38) and is there surrounded by a cap 167 containing in the end stradd'le a stud 169 projecting into it from the adjacent face of the block 165, the capl being confined on the shaft, with slight independent rotary movement determined by the stud. 169, by a pin 170 passing transversely through the cap in the groove 166; and a spiral-spring 171 surrounds the cap with one end secured to the block-and its other end toa leaf-spring 172 fastened at one end inea diametrical slot in the outer or rear end of the cap, the free end of the leaf-spring extending into the plane of the stud 149 on the frame-arm 143. The block 165 has the two at bearing-surfaces 1651 and 1652 to travel against the face 144, and adjacent to 95 the corner between thesesurfaces they, are

'respectively provided with the notches 1.653

and` 1654, toward which the surfaces curve slightly, as represented. A wiper 173 (Fig. 6), for the Wider labels 139., is secured 'on the shaft 164 adjacent to its rear bearing, and consists of a metal collar havin jaws between which a wiping flap 174 of exible material, preferably rubber, is confined to project at its free end into contact with the bottle-body. On the shaft 164 near its forward4 end is secured the wiper 175 for the bottlenecks, the preferred construction of which iS best shown in Fi 16: A collar 176 is keyed to the shaft an carries, to extend Avtransversely across it, a sleeve 177 with which telescopesa tube 178 closed at its outer end and containing a spiral-spring 179 confined against the inner end of a pluno'errodj 186 non-rotatably working in the tube and term'inating in its outer end-in a yoke 181 (Fig.

6),` having journaled in it a star-shaped frame 182 between the arms of which are journaled the three similar rollers 183 forming a cluster,

composed by preference of rubber sleeves ro'.-` 120 tata ly surrounding rods extending between the starshaped bearings. Other shapes of theabel-wiping heads for the wiper 17 5,

each consisting of avsing'le member, prefer-I ablyT of rubber, are illustrated in Figs. 17 to 125 l v22, inclusive, by end views and in 17 l to 22,

inclusive, by lan views. A collar 184, se,y cured about t e inner end of the tube 178 is journaled in the free ends of two similar bent j farms 1.85 looselysurrounding at their oppo-f los of the picker 160.

In the up-and-down movement, under the action of the crank-disk 68, of the arms 152- and yokes 153, each of the latter is guided by a shoe 187 (Fig. 4) supported to bear against the outer face of a frame-bar 143 on an ear 188 projecting outwardly from an arm .of the respective yoke 153.A 'l

Immediately above the head-end of the bottle-suppoit there extends from the face of the standard, on which it is vertically adjustable over vthe bottle-support, a horizontal frame 1.89 (Figs. 23-25) of substantial U-shape liavinglongitudinal slots 190 and 191, respectively, in' its upper and lower sides 'and having near the forward end of its upper side a spring-controlled shaft 192 journaled in bearings 198 .and carrying on its projecting ends corresponding arms 194 in the outer ends of which is liourrialed an inking-rolloi' -195 for applying inl( to the type of the dating-device, hereinafter described. Between the arms of this frame is reciprocably confined al slotted head 196 secured to the forward end of the plunger-rod 62 actuated by the bell-crank 5 9. In the slot provided in the forward'face of this head, and near the upper end thereof, is journaled a bell-crank lever 197, the shorter and upwardly extending rear arm of which projects .into the path of an adjustable .stop 198 in the forward end of the top ofthe frame, and on the forward upper end of the longer arm of which is mounted the type-carrying datinghead 199 with the inking-roller, under the action of the spring on the shaft 192, bearing against the type in the normally retracted position of the frame 189.v A similar bellcrank' 200'is fulcrumed in the head 196 immediately below the bell-crank 190 with its rear downwardly extending shorter arm projecting into 'the lane of an adjustable stop 201 in a bearingug 202 depending from the extreme forward end yof the lower side of the frame 189 coincident with the longitudinal slot therein in which said shorter larm works, as the shorter arm of the bellcrank 197 works in the slot 190; and on the forwardend of the' bell-crank 200 is pivotally carried., to accommodate itself to any angle of the bottle-body, a rubber-faced label-clamping head 203 to hold a label 139 `-against slipping on the bottle-body while it is bein wiped about the same by the wipers 174.

he two bell-cranks are normally held togetherin the position shown in Fig. 28 by spiral-s rings204 connecting them. 1n the forwar stroke of the head 196,the dater is inked by moving it across the inking-roller and is advanced underneath the pile of .labels 139 in their magazine, so that when `the short armof the bell-crank 1,97 encounters the stop 198,"the dating-head 199 -is raised `against the underiiiost labeltto date it on its-back surfaceto be applied to the bottle. Thus, of course, the date on thev label is not exposed to view whenthe label .is on a bottle, but the user ofthe machine does not wish it to beso exposed. Similarly, the forward. movement of the head 196 causes the shorter arm of the bell-crank 200 to encounter the stop 201 with the result of depressing the clamp 203 against the 'bottle for.V the purpose hereinafter described.'

A clamping-device is also' provided for holding a neck-label against slipping while it is being wiped about thebottle-neck by tube and pivotally connected at its upper .end with theilever 65 at the longitudinal slot in its forward end, tliereby'to render the tube 206 adjustable back and forth on the lever to correspond with any adjustment of ther frame '116 relative to bottle-necks of different lengths. 'In the bottom of the head 207 is centrally swiveled at its upper end a cylindrical spindle 209 extendingy through abearing 210 inthe -lowerend of the tube, the spindle containing a spiralgroove 211 into .which extends,*throiigh the wall of .the tubev and the bearing 210, a pin 212; and the 'spindle carries on its lower projecting end arubber-faced clamp 213 surmounted by. an upwardly tapering guard 214.

The operation is as follows: While the inachine may' be en [uippedfor operation by hand, itis shown v'to be equipped for operation by power applied to lthe belt-wheel 39', the continuous rotation ofwhich 'uninterruptedlyv rotates the mixing-roller in the paste-font .80. 'Qn the drive-shaft 38., adjacent to the pulley 39 isa clutch-device 215 o f ordinary construction flor coupling the pulley to the shaft by depressing the forward projecting end of a treadle 216 to depress the rear end of a s ring-pressed lever 217 linked atone end to t e adjacent end of the treadle and having a connection with the clutch at its op osite end. tread e will roduce, by a single rotation of the drive-pu ley, a complete operation of the machine, which is arrested thereafter by automatic unshipping of the clutch, in the usual .manner of such devices. With the parts in position of rest in which Thus. one depression of the they ai'e shown in Fig. 1 and a bottle to-be lab Qled imposed on its support, the first effeet of the rotation of the drive-shaft, after depressing the treadle, is to cause the crank-
